Microsoft Announces Holographic Headset: Hololens

4.6

During the Windows 10 keynote, Microsoft announced a new augmented reality holographic headset named Microsoft Hololens, which will allow us to display holograms in the real world around us, even if of course they’ll just be visible in the headset itself.

Of course the Hololens headset, which has a see-through lens in front of your eyes, is fully compatible with games, and Minecraft was used as an example of that.
According to Microsoft’s Alex Kipman, Hololens includes a special holographic chip and will work wireless and independently from other hardware. It will be able to render high fidelity holograms in real time, and it definitely looks quite impressive.

Hololens will be available during the Windows 10 cycle, even if no precise release windows was announced.

this is honestly so cool i hope its not a ton of money because i could see myself using this to play xbox in the car on long car rides and trips and things i hope it works with all games such as cod and fifa. its also going to be interesting to see how they power it if its a rechargeable battery or if it takes batteries it will most likely be rechargeable though

This may get overlooked. But this is probably one of the most innovative things to come out of that event.

I don't know if it is just me, but it seems like Microsoft are advancing their technology at a much faster rate than before!

Completely agree with you! Everyone will be looking back at this in 10 years thinking it was stupid haha.

Can't wait for this, gonna be expensive might save my tax return money just for this, depends on release date though

Sounds awesome, however it also sounds like a nice pricetag will come with it.
